Seeking help is a brave step toward healing, and I'm committed to supporting you as you strive to live a life that reflects your truest self. Drawing from my experience working with children, youth, and young adults,

Whether it’s shame, helplessness, unhealthy behavioral patterns you’re trying to break, or simply feeling like you’re never enough, you’ve come to the right place. It takes courage to admit you’re struggling, and even more so to ask for help. The environment, culture, and family we grow up in affect how we navigate the world. As a second-generation queer-identifying Filipina American, I know how difficult it is growing up in two different cultures and upbringings. My goal as a therapist is to make you feel seen and heard in a safe, supportive environment. I aim to co-create a space tailored to your emotions, needs, and experiences.

My name is Claudia Salazar. I am a bilingual therapist in Spanish and English. I am experienced in working with individual and families of all ages. I have experience working with LGBTQ, a wide range of ethnicities, ages, and cultural backgrounds. I enjoy working with my clients to help build the skills needed to make lasting and positive changes.

I’m Lindsay MacMaster PsyD, a licensed Clinical Psychologist in the San Diego area. When you work with me, I create a setting that is warm and compassionate, a space that allows you to best connect with what is bothering you. Counseling helps you learn how to become your best self. Your therapist can support you as you lean into life’s most difficult challenges rather than shy away from them.

I am also an Educational Therapist working in various schools and clinics. I work with children, adolescents, and parents and all the professionals that orbit their lives. School Anxiety is a particular area of interest. The colleagues I work with support the multi-diciplinary approach to treating the whole child. Professionals I work with have specialties not limited to speech, language, vision, psychiatry, family counseling, parenting, neurodevelopment, teaching, play and more. As an Educational Therapist I offer children and adults with learning disabilities and other learning challenges a wide range of intensive, individualized interventions designed to remediate learning problems.

I truly believe we all have the resources within us to grow and heal. However, there are times we become "stuck" in life and overcome with fear or other factors. I am passionate in working with children and adults in helping them recognize deeper/underlying issues or past traumatic experiences that can impair a person's function each day in various ways. I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, and complex trauma (Ie physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, DV, life adjustments, grief/loss). I am trained in EMDR, a research-based treatment that facilitates the brain's own capacity to heal.

Hi, I’m happy you’re here. I am honored that you are interested to learn a bit more about what I can offer you and your family.

I enjoy working with adults on strengthening their parenting skills, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and women's related issues such as pregnancy/postpartum struggles.

Is your child struggling at home, school, or friendships? Does anxiety, anger, tantrums, or sadness seem to disable them? Whether it is huge outbursts of emotions, being overly quiet or shut down, I equip kids & parents to overcome hurdles & live with more confidence. A child's behavior is their way of communicating with you. Together we can work on understanding what your child is "saying". Getting help for your child shows how much you care for them! I'm a bilingual psychotherapist (English-Spanish) with over a decade of experience working with children, teens, & families.

Seeing your child or adolescent struggle with anxiety and depression can be heart-wrenching. As guardians, you might notice changes in their behavior, mood swings, or a loss of interest in activities they once enjoyed. These signs can leave you feeling helpless and searching for the most effective way to support them. I'm here to guide you through this journey, offering a compassionate and tailored approach to help your loved one reclaim their happiness and confidence.

As a dually licensed MFT and BCBA with 20 years of experience, I am passionate about working with children, teens, adults and families who are affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, anxiety and other developmental, behavioral, and learning differences. Primarily utilizing a positive and solution-focused approach, I aim to enlighten and empower the strengths already within my clients and their families, so that they can thrive and meet their goals. I have a unique understanding of behavioral, emotional, and developmental disabilities, but also the impact both the symptoms and the treatment itself can have on the family system.

Hi there, I’m excited to connect with you. I have the privilege of working with children, women, families, and mothers.

Together, we will go on a journey of healing and self-discovery. Whether seeking peace, building resilience, or strengthening relationships, I’m here to guide you towards a brighter, healthier future. It’s an honor to support you.

I may not be able to get you over it or under it, but I am here to help you through it.

I also offer clinical supervision for those therapists accruing hours towards licensure.
